A satellite of mass m is orbiting around the earth (mass M, radius R) in a circular orbital of radius 4R. It starts losing energy slowly at a constant `-(dE)/(dt)=eta`due to friction. Find the time (t) in which the satellite will spiral down to the surface of the earth. |
Answer» Correct Answer - `t=(3GMm)/(8etaR)` |
